Bollywood Stars Including the Khans And Kapoors Who Refused To Do The Most Solid Characters Ever!!!

Salman Khan has been famously quoted as saying,” If I had done Baazigar there would have been no Mannat,” referring to what SRK owed his super stardom after Baazigar and a luxurious bungalow too. Salman rejected the role as he didn’t wanted to do a negative character and SRK got lucky.

1. Saif Ali Khan – Raj in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge

Loss? Rejecting DDLJ must be the biggest blunder Saif must have ever committed. But at the same time can we imagine someone else than SRK playing the iconic character of ‘Raj’.

2. Hrithik Roshan – Akash in Dil Chahta Hai

3. Kareena Kapoor – Sonia in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai

Loss? The role of Sonia was first played by Kareena Kapoor, but then she left the location after few days of shooting as she had some dispute with the director Rakesh Roshan. Later the role was replaced by a new comer Ameesha Patel who became a star overnight.

6. Ranbir Kapoor – Delhi Belly

7. Shatrughan Sinha – Jai in Sholay

Loss? Shatrughan Sinha could have bagged one more epic dialogue ‘ Tumhara Naam Kya Hai Basanti’ with ‘Khamosh’!! and also part of a film which redefined Bollywood. Well, he truly must have gone khamosh after realizing the loss.

8. Twinkle Khanna – Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

9. Danny Denzongpa – Gabbar in Sholay

Loss? We cannot imagine any other Gabbar or recreate the magic again in the sequel other than what Amjad Khan did in the movie. It was just perfect for the viewers except Danny Denzongpa who had to turn down the role as he shooting for ‘Dharmatma’.

10. Akshay Kumar – Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

Loss? Farhan Akhtar gave his best in the movie and Akshay totally lost it. And this is not the first, the actor missed out the iconic movie Baazigar and Race too. He would have struggled less all these years by making some right decisions.

11. Shahrukh Khan – Rang De Basanti

Well even Shahrukh Khan refused an iconic movie but can’t blame him as he did not wanted to play second fiddle to Aamir Khan. He has a point but then the audiences would have got to see both the Khan’s sharing the screen.

15. Vivek Oberoi – Hum Tum

16. Salman Khan – Chak De India

Salman somehow contributed a lot to Shahrukh’s success in Chak De!!! What an incredible role of coach Kabir Khan. Salman totally missed it.

17. Shahrukh Khan – Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.

Shahrukh did a mistake rejecting the epic role of Munna Bhai. But again he had a valid reason had a back surgery. SRK never made mistakes in choosing roles for himself unless there’s something sensible reason to do so. Witty SRK!!!

22. Kareena – Fashion

23. Salman Khan – Kal Ho Na Ho

Salman was offered Saif Ali Khan’s character in’ Kal Ho Na Ho’. And not just Salman but it was a loss for the audiences too as we would have got to see these two Khans together sharing screen after ‘Karan Arjun’.

28. Salman Khan – Baazigar

Salman Khan has been famously quoted as saying,” If I had done Baazigar there would have been no Mannat, ” referring to what SRK owed his super stardom after Baazigar and a luxurious bungalow too. Salman rejected the role as he didn’t wanted to do a negative character and SRK got lucky.

29. Kareena Kapoor – Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

She gave up ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ as she thought she was too young for the role. She was just 19 and ash got the role opposite Salman and was a hit following controversies of their relationship off-screen.
